Video
There are many ways to add videos to an article.
Local files
You can use the Special:Upload utility to upload videos in the following formats:
mp4(MPEG-4)webm(WebM)mkv(Matroska video file)mov(Apple QuickTime Movie)ogv(Ogg Video)
It is added to the page the same way as other files.
[[File:Water Bolt Sound Uhtric Mod.mp4]]
Codecs
HEVC-encoded videos aren't supported by Firefox/Opera mobile/Safari mobile for patent reasons; if a file using this codec is uploaded, it will show up as a blank file on those browsers. To fix this, re-encode the video into H264, AV1, VP8, or VP9 and reupload the file.
EmbedVideo (recommended)
The EmbedVideo extension allows embedding videos from 3rd-party video hosting services on a page. It is added with the #ev parser function.
{{#ev:service_name|id}}
You can also specify various other options, such as start position or dimensions.
For ease of use, consider creating a template that wraps this parser tag instead of calling it directly on pages. See Template:EmbedVideo on the Ace Combat Wiki for an example.
